PHOENIX (AP) -- Jodi Arias' attorneys want a judge to allow them to monitor the Twitter accounts of the jury seated in her murder trial to be certain jurors aren't communicating details about the case on social media.Arias was convicted of first-degree murder May 8 in the 2008 death of boyfriend Travis Alexander in his suburban Phoenix home, but the same jury failed to reach a decision on her sentence. Her case is now in limbo as prosecutors decide whether to seat a new jury in pursuit of the death penalty.While neither side has publicly discussed any negotiations toward a plea deal, the motion filed Wednesday indicates the parties are on a path toward a second trial as her attorneys wrote in a motion Wednesday that Arias will "endeavor to paint a complete picture" of who she is and why she deserves a sentence of life."Attorneys Kirk Nurmi and Jennifer Willmott want the court to compel all jurors eventually seated for the second penalty phase to provide their Twitter accounts and handles if they use the site.They note the details would serve as a "crucial tool with which Ms. Arias can work to ensure that her jury are either not communicating about the case via Twitter or considering information that was sent to them via Twitter as opposed to what is presented to them in court."The attorneys argue that without the ability to monitor their accounts, there would be no way of knowing whether jurors are communicating or receiving information about the case.Jurors already are warned to avoid media coverage during the proceedings, and not to discuss the case with anyone until they have been dismissed."If every juror were to understand and follow this warning, there would be no issue with a juror choosing to `tweet' information about the case," the attorneys wrote. "However, even a juror that follows this admonition could still receive a tweet containing extraneous information."The Arias case prompted a frenzy of activity on Twitter since she went on trial in January. With the trial streamed live on the Internet around the world, Twitter users communicated with each other and journalists and TV personalities covering the case. Arias herself was believed to be Tweeting during the trial through a third party.

Xcooose me ! But they should also concentrate on keeping their client off of twitter.

A lot a movement has happened in State v. Jodi Arias in the past couple days leading up to the status conference scheduled for Monday, August 26. It is anticipated that the firm trial date will be scheduled on Monday. Additionally, the Judge may rule on the Defense's motions regarding potential jurors and Twitter accounts, extended voir dire time and no or limited camera coverage.

First, a firm trial is just that, a firm date. In our circles it is the actual date that the trial is to start, not a target date but the ACTUAL date. The re-trial of the mitigation part of the penalty phase in Arias will start with the selection of a new jury of 12 persons and I predict at least 4 alternates.

Here is a simple explanation of each request and my take on each:

PHOENIX) — Convicted killer Jodi Arias will return to court on Monday in Maricopa County, Ariz., as a judge is expected to set a date for a retrial of the penalty phase of her murder trail.

In the trial, which riveted millions for five months earlier this year and spawned a TV movie, Arias was found guilty in May of murdering her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander. The marathon trial ended when the jury was unable to agree on whether to sentence Arias to death or life in prison.

Judge Sherry Stephens, who oversaw the murder trial, has said that she’d like to begin picking a new jury next month. The new jurors would not hear the entire case and their only task would be to decide Arias’ fate.Attorneys for Arias are hoping the retrial will not be as high-profile and have filed a motion asking the judge to keep cameras out, or to at least forbid the trial from being broadcast live. The defense says the publicity was so intense that two witnesses, domestic violence expert Alyce Laviolette and Arias’ childhood friend Patti Womak, received death threats and are too scared to come back to testify for the retrial.

Judge Stephens may not buy the defense’s argument since it was Arias who granted jailhouse interviews as the first jury deliberated her fate.

Arias is now being held in Maricopa County jail awaiting the sentencing phase of her trial. If a second jury is seated for a new sentencing phase, both the prosecution and defense will spend weeks presenting evidence to catch the jury up on the five-month long murder trial.

If the second jury cannot reach a unanimous decision, Arias will automatically be sentenced to life in prison. Then, Judge Stephens will decide if she will get life without parole or life with eligibility for parole after 25 years.

Oh brother....! What ever happened to justice for victims and a speedy trial? I think the more this goes on, the more cruel it is for the family and friends of Travis. It seems to be all about Jodi. JMHO
